Traffic police and other enforcement agencies : More effective traffic policing is crucial for cyclists, and also helps tackle one of the biggest fears that many others have about taking up cycling in the first place – namely, bad driving.

Prosecutors and the courts : To reinforce the message that driving that endangers other road users is socially unacceptable, prosecutors and courts should not dismiss ‘dangerous’ driving as merely ‘careless’.

Compensation for injured cyclists :The rules about liability for road crashes need to be changed to make it easier and quicker for cyclists and pedestrians to be compensated if they are injured in collisions with motor vehicles.

Cyclists’ behaviour and the law : Cyclists should behave responsibly and legally, but the law should recognise that they do little harm and should not have to choose between keeping safe and obeying rules.

Bad driving offences : Tackling bad driving offences effectively would help create a safer and more attractive environment for cycling and walking.
